Walking a Winding Road: A study of the book of Judges - Paperback

by Christy L. Voelkel (Author)

Feeling oppressed and struggling in life? Feeling powerless in an increasingly chaotic world? Wondering where God is in troubled times?

So did Israel in the days of the judges.

Walking a Winding Road is a study of how God's people end up on the winding roads of coping and compromise when they walk away from a relationship with God and the measures God takes to get them back on the right path. Israel's historical narrative provides rich illustrations of issues we face even today and provides some strategies for getting back on track and surviving troubled times without losing faith in God.

In this expositional Bible study, we will first examine the text to build profiles of the characters, issues, conditions, and contributing circumstances that characterized the age of the judges of Israel, and then apply those profiles to our own experiences. Applications incorporate New Testament principles, reveal pictures of Christ in the Old Testament models, and offer questions for reflection throughout the chapters.
